nCOUNT WEDS; IS ARRESTEDNobleman and Bride Stop at Police Station on Way to Marriage Supper.Chicago.—John Drashkovltch Orloff, who says he is a Russian count, passed an anxious hour while friends were hurrying to the home of a municipal court judge to obtain his release after he had been arrested on a charge of larceny. With him web his bride of a few hours. The charge against Orloff was made by W. B. Wenham, representing the Chicago Safe and Merchandise company, 3032 West Lake street, and he accused the count of having failed to pay for a typewriter which he is said to have purchased December 19 last.Detectives with Wenham served the papers on Orloff a few moments before he and his bride, with a party of friends, were about to leave the home of the bride, 1927 West Adams street, for the Chicago Beach hotel, where they were to have a wedding supper.The marriage was performed at 3 p. m. in St. Paul’s Reformed Episcopal church, South Winchester avenue and West Adams street. The marriage ceremony was read by Bishop Samuel Fallows.The arrest of Orloff resulted in the postponement of the count’s honeymoon trip to an eastern city. The accused count was saved from a cell by Detective Welling, who stood in front of the Clark street police station with him while his friends were signing the bouds. In front of the station also was an automobile in which were the bride and Mtb. L. M. Czar and Miss Violet S. Hallowell, who had acted as bridesmaids at the wedding. Countess Orloff, who before her marriage was Miss Mary Henrietta Sparrow, was nervous during the wait at the police station and at first was unwilling to talk about her husband’s arrest. Finally she was persuaded to talk about a woman who her husband had intimated was responsible,“My wife has been receiving numer-ous letters from this woman, who ha* i told her I am not a real count,” said j Orloff. “I cannot reveal her name at the present time,”He admitted having obtained the typewriter, hut said he had given the machine to a friend, who had agreed to pay for it.“NATURE” RESCUES WOMANFire Destroys a House That Wai Moved by Flood Into Canal Path.T.mtiavin*—That Enalish poet whc
